Biography GeneRaL
Victor «GeneRaL» Nigrini is a professional Dota 2 player of Ukrainian descent. GeneRaL started his career in 2015 and since then, he has played for many CIS teams, demonstrating a high gaming level. We present to your attention GeneRaL’s road to becoming an esportsman.
The beginning of the career
Like the majority of esportsmen, GeneRaL had started his road to the competitive scene way before his arrival to a professional organization. Since his early years, he has been fond of video games, especially the competitive ones. Victor was especially good at Dota 2, which consequently became a real job for the player and allowed him to build a career.
Duza Gaming was the first official club for GeneRaL. With it, GeneRaL played at StarLadder ProSeries Season 1 and also prevailed at FirstGameTV Dota 2 Cup. After two months of playing for Duza Gaming, GeneRaL moved to sQreen’s Squad. Victor held the second place at MSI Dragon Battle #6 and MSI Dragon Battle #6, and also the 5th-6th place at ProDota Cup with this team. But GeneRaL did not stay in the team for long.
GeneRaL moved to Teamless in August 2015 but left the team two weeks later. ScaryFaceZ was the next club for GeneRaL. The player spent a bit less than a month there and transferred to Walrus Punch in October 2015, from which he departed in a month. Later, the player played for Team Empire as a stand-in and joined Elements Pro Gaming in November.
GeneRaL played for EPG at D2CL Christmas Charity Magic, The Defense Season 5, ProDotA Cup Europe #1, BTS Europe #1, and also placed 2nd in the qualifiers for MDL 2015 Winter – European Qualifiers and the 5th-10th in the qualifiers for The Shanghai Major 2016 Europe. Despite GeneRaL not achieving significant results at these championships, he was noticed by Natus Vincere.
Natus Vincere and the first success
GeneRaL joined NaVi in February 2016. The team held the 3rd-4th place at Dota Pit League Season 4 in March and the 2nd place at StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 1 a month later.
In June 2016, GeneRaL performed at his first Major tournament – The Manila Major 2016. NaVi demonstrated a pretty good result there, having placed 7th-8th. There was ESL One Frankfurt 2016 in June 2016 where NaVi held the 2nd place and NaVi finally managed to prevail at StarLadder i-League StarSeries Season 2 in July. The team made it to The International 2016 but the team held the 13th-16th place at the championship, having left the tournament after the first round of the lower bracket.
The team managed to recover partially from the hard loss only by the end of 2017. NaVi won Adrenaline Cyber League then, after which they placed 4th at DreamLeague Season 8 in December 2017. The further results could hardly be called successful and GeneRaL stopped being a part of NaVi in September 2018.
Finding himself, FlyToMoon, and the return to NaVi
In September 2018, GeneRaL played for the team of the former NaVi member – Lil. However, the player stayed only a bit more than three weeks there, after which he moved to FlyToMoon.
GeneRaL became a player of FTM in February 2020. The team won Parimatch League Season 2 in March and placed 2nd at Parimatch League Season 3 Round Robin, Parimatch League Season 3 in June and July.
The team prevailed at OMEGA League: Europe Divine Division in September 2020, after which it successfully qualified for OGA Dota PIT S3: Europe/CIS.
